Leaving feedback on a shared draft and actually changing the document's content are two different operations that shouldn't be confused, a reviewer highlighting a paragraph and adding a comment needs the original text to stay visible underneath the markup. This tool draws text comments, highlights, and rectangles over a PDF page without replacing its underlying content.
